Music Video

If you’re like me and you’re not quite ready to let Halloween fade away for another year, then you can at least partake in a bit more horror-related game music courtesy of Gamechops!

“Never Alone” is a Five Nights at Freddy’s horrorcore / drumstep / drum and bass song from Nitroglitch and Dj CUTMAN and featuring a music video with video animation and visuals by Chronowolf and Dj CUTMAN. If you go and grab the download, you actually also get a special chillout remix of FNAF Sister Location.

So don’t feel you need to pack up your pumpkins and skeletons yet, as there’s still a bit of ghoulish juice to squeeze out of the Halloween season!

The people over at GameChops have decided to get in on the massive love for Cuphead and the game’s fantastic soundtrack by composer Kristofer Maddigan by creating an EDM-swing arrangement of “Botanic Panic” from the game’s music!

This remix of Botanic Panic is by James Landino and mastered by Dj CUTMAN. Cutman also edited the video, showing many boss fights thanks to the excellent gameplay footage by Emily Feder! Oh my gosh we sure have fallen in love with Cuphead over here at GameChops! Hope you enjoy this Cuphead electro swing music video, what an amazing soundtrack, incredible animation and an awesome game!

The catchy beats of the electro-swing arrangement fit perfectly with the game’s original melody and works with the zany gameplay of the video. The “Botanic Panic” Electro Swing Mix is free to download on the Gamechops website.

Performer and videogame soundtrack vocalist Jillian Aversa has teamed up in a collaboration featuring the famous title theme from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time performed jointly with YouTube musician Erutan (Kate Covington). This ethereal rendition of the theme, titled “Chrysalis,” is arranged by Jillian and her husband, Andrew “zircon” Aversa, and includes her lyrics and vocal work alongside Erutan’s ocarina, harp, and glockenspiel performances combined with mood settings and costumes.

“After taking a more literal approach with the characters in my second Zelda music video last year, I wanted to return to a freer interpretation for this one. When I think of the Zelda games, I don’t just picture Link and Zelda, but the whole world of Hyrule — with all its magic and charm. What does this world look like from the perspective of the critters that inhabit it? That is the question that inspired our video concept. Kate and I each play three different animal characters, all coming together to witness the metamorphosis of a moth.” – Jillian Aversa

Jillian and Erutan’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time“Title Theme” tribute has been posted to Jillian’s YouTube channel, where music videos paying homage to Final Fantasy VI, NieR, Destiny, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Game of Thrones can also be found.

As Shawn posted last month, the music for the action rhythm game Klang is now available on multiple platforms. To promote the game’s OST, the guys from GameChops have crafted a music video to help illustrate how powerfully the music and gameplay work in tandem within the game.

If you’ve played the game and have not yet purchased the soundtrack or you’re a fan of composer bLiNd’s work, then you’re in luck. OSV has been given two codes for free copies of the Klang OST on Bandcamp. Comment on this post with your email address and share this post via Facebook or Twitter (post a link so we can see!) to win a chance at one of these two codes. We’ll pick the winner randomly by the end of the week!

There’s been a lot of Gamechops material coming out lately, and a lot of Pokémon activity going on in the gaming world. It thus just makes sense that the two would eventually combine.

For your viewing pleasure, you can check out Grimecraft‘s interesting take on the Pokémon bike theme paired with footage from the games, cartoon series, and custom CG segments by Curse Gamepedia. (And an additional little musical shoutout at the very end.)

The music comes from Grimecraft’s 2013 PokéEP, which you can grab for free over on his Bandcamp page.
